Prepare for an Uncertain Future
Major college athletics are in a state of radical change today. How schools prepare themselves for the uncertain future will be vital to their survival. The complexity in collegiate athletics is ever escalating with scholarship costs on the rise, an increased commitment to balanced representation, and the need to build new facilities while managing the increased maintenance costs for an aging infrastructure.
Survival of the current and developing state of athletics depends on the ability of athletic administrators to raise revenue. Whether it is through private donations, ticket sales, or other means, athletic departments are expected to increase income in order to reduce their dependency on student fees and university budgets. Beyond the challenge of raising revenue is the challenge of managing the many moving parts that go into building, maintaining, and growing the current donor, fan, and sponsorship base that are the lifeblood of any athletic department.
